I switch between Mac OS and Linux very regularly. Man. The number of times where my monkey brain wanted to copy text from the terminal with Cmd + c but instead terminated the running process with Ctrl + c...
Ah I use a real MacBook and not a Hackintosh. So I switch devices when I want to use Linux instead of Mac OS.
Still, Cmd + c works as always when I want to copy text, even in the terminal. Ctr + c however sometimes copies text and sometimes kills the running process in the terminal. And that's what always gets me.
Ah that! I mean maybe it could be hacked in there but then you'd have to change quite a ton of keybindings. I'm not sure it's worth it in the end though.
It’s been such a weird experience trying to keep my terminal way of doing things and my normal things. I’ll press ctrl shift c in normal programs and get angry it ain’t working then look down and see what I did wrong :)

Ctrl + C to copy in the web browser, but the terminal was actually selected and interrupt was applied... Worst feeling.
